== Bureaucratship ==
Hi Graham. Since [[Special:Emailuser]] isn't currently working, I'll be happy to write my Christian beliefs and how I follow Jesus here. I was wondering if you've spoken to Prab about bureaucratship and who can become bureaucrats, since I would be happy to become one and help the community further. Will be waiting for a reply! Bye the way, I made some MediaWiki changes (still working on them) the other day, and was wondering what you thought of the top site notice. It should read "''Welcome to [[WikiChristian:About|WikiChristian]]! God bless''". Was wondering if I should change that. God bless, [[User:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">Ryan†Cross</font>]] ('''''[[User talk:RyanCross|<font color="navy" face="Times New Roman">talk</font>]]''''') 04:40, 29 July 2008 (PDT)
: Hi Ryan. Thanks for the message. I like the notice and think it's fine. I've emailed Prab and asked him about bureaucratship. Waiting for his reply still. I'm not sure exactly what the decision will be about new bureaucrats - just so you know, and so that we're being transparent - the things that have been on my mind about b'crats is (1) should there be a time period (e.g. 3 months) of use before being able to become one? (2) are there any important doctrinal beliefs that are considered important to be a b'crat? As you've probably noticed WikiChristian has an evangelical Protestant flavour - do we want to keep that in the bureaucrats or not? I'm not sure - but if we do, we certainly want b'crats to be very flexible and happy to accept other points of view from other Christians; if we don't, then we certainly want to still maintain at least the core value of accepting the Bible as God's word, but with the realization that there is a wide variety of interpretations of much of it. Anyway, just wanted to update you on the thinking - this thinking has been going on from before you asked the question about becoming a b'crat. So it might be a few more days wait or so. Sorry about that. If you want to put information about your Christian beliefs / walk on your user page then that's great; or alternatively you can email it to me at graham_grove at yahoo dot com dot au.
